Alexis winces slightly and looks at Naomi awkwardly.

Alexis: Yes on both, but not exactly. The man I was named after, Alex DeSilva, Jillian's uncle, was a really close friend to my mom's family and gave her parents, my grandparents, this place in his will.

Cryonix Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:13 pm

Naomi: Wow...that's quite a gesture. Well, I guess we better go in then. A 'football' bar, I can assume?

Noting the BIG Manchester United flag flying outside of the pub...

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:24 pm

Alexis nods.

Alexis: He was a bachelor, I think. He kind of looked after my mom's family since he didn't have one.

She smirks at the flag.

Alexis: My uncle used to play for them.

She takes Naomi's arm and pulls her out of the car.

Alexis: This is going to sound weird, but just go with me on this... I think it'll work.

Alexis drags Naomi inside, to odd stares, including that of Christian, who is working behind the bar.

Alexis: Uncle Christian, you won't believe what this bitch said about Man U....

She catches Naomi's look and shrugs.

Cryonix Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:42 pm

Naomi: Uh....uh.....YEAH! Major League Soccer is soooo much better than the....

...what is it called here? Sire A?

Pockets Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:47 pm

Alexis catches her uncle's eye and frantically glances at the back room, before dragging Naomi back there.

Alexis: You do realize that when this is over you might have to leave out the back door under the cover of darkness, right? Saying American soccer is better that British football around here is literally asking to be killed.

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 4:58 pm

Naomi: ~shrugs~ I don't know...I don't watch soccer...

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:03 pm

Alexis' eyebrows go up as she starts ripping off the duct tape binding Naomi's hands.

Alexis: Does dad know?

Rriippp
The tape takes some hairs with it, Alexis winces.

Alexis: Sorry!

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:05 pm

Naomi: I didn't know your dad was a soccer fan, to be honest. Though...his house did look like a bar before I cleaned it from top to bottom...

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:18 pm

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: No wonder he wants to keep you around.

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:20 pm

Naomi chuckles...

Naomi: I guess. Hey...let me buy you a beer. I'm sure...that we have a lot to talk about.

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:23 pm

Alexis shakes her head.

Alexis: I appreciate the offer... but I don't drink.

She grins.

Alexis: Make it a Vanilla Coke and we have a deal.

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:25 pm

Naomi nods...

Naomi: Deal, then.

She walks up to the bar and orders. Christan glares at her...

Christian: I don't know....seeing as how you love MLS.

Naomi: Well, alright...and here I was going to buy a round for the entire bar of your premium stuff....but...

Christian: WAIT....alright....alright. A pint of beer and a Vanilla Coke coming up.

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:32 pm

Alexis chuckles as she walks to the bar behind Naomi.

Alexis: Is that how you charmed my dad too?

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:33 pm

Naomi: Your father was very charming, to be honest. I'm trying to get him to go to counciling. Dr. Jordans thinks he may have clinical depression.

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:55 pm

Alexis: Dad... charming? I remember him saying something about therapy. It would make sense, I guess. Until recently he never seemed happy at all... ever.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:04 pm

Colin looks over at Micah

Colin:"Think they would buy the old "saw the assistant in half" trick? Could put on a magic trick...They'd probably think it was me performing miracles..."

he looks around at the group

Colin:"Just trying to lighten the mood..."

Ashley shake his head and walks into see Shawn and Raquel

Ashley:"'ow ya feelin' Shawn me boy?"

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:06 pm

Moira looks over to see Ashley walk in the room.

Moira: Did it work? I figured it would be better for mey to stay out of the way.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:08 pm

Ashley:"Why would you think that? And...fer the sake o'everybody...especially the kids...I 'ope it does.."

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:17 pm

Naomi: Really? Your dad wasn't happy for how long?

Shawn: Hey, Ashley.....how you feeling, man?

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:23 pm

Moira: I ain't exactly at the top of Caley's 'appy list, an' stuff was complicated enough.

Alexis: Well, I'm 19, so at least that long. Colin remembers when he and mom were happy though....

She looks sad for a moment, then glances at Naomi.

Alexis: I'm not knocking what you have with dad at all, just so you know.

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 23, 2011 9:28 pm

Ashley:"Better then you were a little over an hour...bloody 'ell that was something from a 'orror movie 'appening to you..."

he lets out a small sigh

Ashley:"To be 'onest though...I don't know 'ow I am roit now...this is all so fecked up..."

he looks over at Moira giving a slight nod, but has nothing to add

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:05 pm

Naomi: I know you're not. It's just....I want to try to be close, but I know I can't be....you know...

Shawn: Dude, you'll be fine, kiddo. I'm sure you see the ring I gave Quelly, you two....

...Damn, Moira...you look pretty good. I think you've graduated from 5th grade. You've the body of a high schooler now....

Pockets Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:06 pm

Moira looks over at Shawn, surprised.

Moira: Thanks... I think.... You ain't still drugged up are you?

Cryonix Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:13 pm

Shawn: No...I'm...starting to feel something like my old self again....but....what the hell happened to me? I kind of remember Raquel saying....something...

How's that ring looking, sweetie?

Jabberwocky Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:17 pm

Raquel looks at the ring with a warm smile

Raquel:"Perfect"

Ashley:"Ah well, glad yer alriot Shawn.."
